Cutting and brewing

[liadethornegge]

Yesterday we went over to Viscount Gilliam's place to participate in some beer brewing. Ed had talked to him at the Cudgel Pity Party Picknick about it, so we went over and watched as Gilliam and Rasmus did the work of brewing up a batch of beer and explaining the process along the way.

I'm not personally interested in doing it, but it's always fun to watch people do work, and it's interesting to see it done. But I had brought my latest sewing project and started by laying out and cutting a lining for a pair of breeches. Through the day I also managed to attach the piecings which were needed as the fabric is a little too narrow to fit the entire pattern.

We also played a round of a Beer Trivia game while waiting for the batch to ... do something ... and apparently I have learned some things through watching Acquisitions Intoxicated, because I won! Even though we weren't counting. Best category was stacked chairs.

Unfortunately the weather got really annoying as we drove home, so heavy rain in the dark to get home was less than ideal.

Also in the week came the news that Ed's name and device have been registered with the SCA. He had to drop the -us from his name, but could keep it basically the same as he's been using forever, so Edricus Filius Offae it is. And the heraldry that is on his shield and flag etc passed without issue. I basically filled out his paperwork and he sent them in and communicated about the changes needed. So, hurray for that.
